  • My dad used to work here, well he's retired now. (He's from USS Kitty-hawk, it ticks him off when I call it USS Hello Kitty!) Let the journey begin!
  • These guys are total idiots more so than your average psd. If they worked at a corporation they would all be fired. They are infamous for requiring random unrelated paperwork and inventing requirements that do not exist. I recommend calling twice on different days to verify requirements for any important piece of paperwork you need. They have on many occasions told me one thing over the phone then changed their mind when I went in person. I recommend that their CO be relieved for incompetence and that every one who works there be reassigned as a cook, or possibly a janitor, and then processed out of the navy ASAP.
  • You are so correct. They will give you the run around.
